ARBUTUs-HUNTERs from Montpelier found
the relics of a counterfeiters temporary
stopping place on the hill near George
Warren's, in MiddleseX, Sunday. A kit of
tools, a mold, some silver spoons and few
counterfeit five-cent pieces, more or less
covered with rust, told how the "moon-

in the midst of this law-abiding community,
and sent a thrill to the very marrow of
the discoverers' vertebrR. All appearances
indicated that the place had been the rem
dezvous of mischievous boys and that it had
not been visited for several months.
